August 22 & 23 | Great Country Farms
9am to 5pm – Come see the Pros
After an incredible first year filled with generosity, grit, and community spirit, the Top Gun Construction Rodeo returns for an even bigger, two-day event in 2026.
What started as a six-week idea quickly became a powerful demonstration of how the construction community shows up for its own — raising more than $25,000 for a local family in need. This year, Land Improvement Contractors of America (LICA) and Great Country Farms have teamed up, bringing that same heart, horsepower, and heavy equipment for a full weekend of competition, family fun, and giving back.
Competition and Community
From morning to late afternoon, skilled heavy-equipment operators will go head-to-head in timed challenges designed to test precision, speed, and skill. Expect roaring engines, nail-biting finishes, and plenty of friendly rivalry as contractors and operators showcase the talent and camaraderie that define this industry.
Local contractors and equipment dealers will once again transform the farm into a one-of-a-kind competition arena filled with impressive machines, hands-on experiences, and larger-than-life demonstrations.
If year one proved anything, it’s that this event is about more than competition — it’s about community. Expect the return of crowd-favorite fundraising moments, auctions, and opportunities to support a meaningful cause, The Sweet Julia Grace Foundation.
Family Fun
The Construction Rodeo isn’t just for industry pros — it’s built for families and future operators, too. Kids and adults alike can get up close to the equipment, try interactive challenges, and enjoy crowd-favorite activities returning from last year (and a few exciting new surprises).
